Hi.
Did not like the new ‘Collapsing Symphony’.
My wife bought it.
To my surprise, All she wants is’s page states ‘99 instead of ‘89, expressing the year of the song’s release.
In a very big font by the way ...

I so notice that, being released chronologically, ITSISK should be after HLTW. The index has mistakes too ‘in evil beach’ ... Not going to see it again just to avoid finding more mistakes .... |

Uninspired rubbish.
A big problem is that the people responsible for design, proof reading and the end product are uninspired themselves - and rather than listen to critique, we are thrown more and more endless garbage.
The arrogance from DDHQ is astounding - and the wrong people are in charge of branding. There is no longer an attention to detail and that saddens me. I think RCM was the last time my head turned at artwork.
But typos? Unforgivable.
It should be called The Calamitous Symphony.

They have TWO very different meanings. If a Dutchman can see the problem then the English / Americans should see the bloody problem!! |

"uninspiring" is indeed the best word to use.

It sounds like the book could have benefited from a copy editor!

It sounds like the book could have benefited from a copy editor! What it really needed was somebody who actually cared. In any case, Wendy at Magus says we have ‘lots to look forward to’ this year. Well, we’re nearly into April so they’d better get a wiggle on. |
